משנה: אֵין אוֹמְדִין אוֹתוֹ אֶלָּא בְמַכּוֹת הָרְאוּיוֹת לְהִשְׁתַּלֵּשׁ. אֲמָדוּהוּ לְקַבֵּל אַרְבָּעִים. לָקָה מִקְצָת וְאָמְרוּ שֶׁאֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְקַבֵּל אַרְבָּעִים פָּטוּר. אֲמָדוּהוּ לְקַבֵּל שְׁמוֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה מִשֶּׁלָּקָה אָמְרוּ יָכוֹל הוּא לְקַבֵּל אַרְבָּעִים פָּטוּר. עָבַר עֲבֵירָה שֶׁיֶשׁ בָּהּ שְׁנֵי לָאוִין אֲמָדוּהוּ אוֹמֶד אֶחָד לוֹקֶה וּפָטוּר. וְאִם לָאו לוֹקֶה וּמִתְרַפֵּא וְחוֹזֵר וְלוֹקֶה:
MISHNAH: One estimates him only for floggings divisible by three. If they estimated that he could receive forty; after he was flogged some, they said that he could not withstand forty, he is not liable. If they had estimated him for eighteen; after he was flogged they said that he could withstand forty, he is not liable. If he committed a transgression which involved two prohibitions, if they estimated him in one estimation he is flogged and then is no longer liable; otherwise he is flogged, recovers, and is flogged a second time.
